Introducing Otto: Our AI Assistant That Helps You Build Smarter, Faster, and Freer

VANCOUVER, August 27, 2025 – Ontraccr Technologies, a fast-growing innovator in construction management software, is excited to announce the launch of Otto, its new AI-powered assistant built directly into the Ontraccr platform. Otto marks the next chapter in Ontraccr’s mission to empower construction and field service teams with unparalleled flexibility, combining the company’s unique no-code automation engine with cutting-edge artificial intelligence to help customers design, execute, and optimize their workflows faster than ever before.

Every generation of construction tech has had its defining moment. For decades, companies were stuck in outdated systems—manual forms, disconnected spreadsheets, siloed operations. Then came the cloud. Then came mobility. Then came automation.

Now, we believe the next evolution is here—and it’s not a gimmick.

Today, I’m proud to introduce you to Otto, Ontraccr’s brand-new AI assistant.

Otto is built directly into the Ontraccr platform. It’s fast, reliable, and deeply trained on our product, our workflows, and the real use cases our customers face every day.

More importantly, Otto is not just here to answer questions. It’s here to unleash your creativity, speed up your builds, and help you get even more value from a platform already built to let you design your own workflows—without writing a single line of code.

Why Otto, and Why Now?

If you’ve been following the tech world, you know that AI has been making headlines left and right. It’s tempting to jump in quickly just to keep up. But at Ontraccr, we chose a different path.

We’ve spent the last couple of years quietly researching how AI could actually help our customers—not just wow them.

We didn’t want to build AI for the sake of having AI. We didn’t want to add a search bar that spits out links to help docs. And we definitely didn’t want to launch something that gets in the way more than it helps.

We wanted to build something with real utility. Something that makes every Ontraccr user more capable, more confident, and more creative.

That’s what Otto is.

What Otto Can Do (Right Now)

Otto is your intelligent teammate, available 24/7, and ready to help with just about anything across the Ontraccr platform.
Here’s what that looks like in practice:

✅ Want to create a custom invoice workflow but not sure where to start? Ask Otto.

✅ Need help mapping cost codes to a new phase-based project structure? Otto knows how.

✅ Wondering how to trigger a form when a task hits “Ready for Review”? Otto’s got you.

✅ Trying to automate a handoff between dispatch and estimating boards? Otto can guide you step by step.

The best part? Otto doesn’t just understand features in isolation. It understands how features connect—and how to apply them in real-world scenarios tailored to your trade, your process, and your team structure.

It’s like having a senior implementation specialist, systems architect, and workflow strategist—all rolled into one, and available on demand.

Why Otto Fits Perfectly Into Ontraccr

At our core, Ontraccr isn’t just another construction management tool. We’re not here to give you a rigid project template or force you into someone else’s idea of how to build.

We are—and always have been—a no-code workflow automation platform. That means:

• You can build nearly any workflow you want.
  
  
• You can automate just about anything you imagine.
  
  
• You can make the system work for you, instead of the other way around.

That’s where Otto shines.

Otto accelerates your ability to bring those ideas to life. It helps you connect dots, troubleshoot configuration roadblocks, and push creative boundaries with confidence. No need to wade through menus or submit support tickets to figure out what’s possible. Otto is your shortcut to smarter systems and faster setups.

In an industry where most tools lock you into a certain way of working, Otto (and Ontraccr) give you the freedom to build exactly what your business needs—your way.

What Gets Me Most Excited

Otto is already powerful. But what excites me most isn’t what it does today—it’s what it unlocks for tomorrow.

Here’s a glimpse of what we’re building next:

• 🧠 Agentic Workflow Design
  You’ll be able to describe your process in plain English—and Otto will design the workflow, create the boards, set up the automations, and assign the right permissions.
  
  
• ⚡ Instant Dashboards and Reports
  Want a dashboard showing open work orders by region or revenue per foreman? Just ask Otto. It’ll build it for you—no configuration needed.
  
  
• 🤖 Task Execution and Follow-Through
  Otto won’t just suggest what to do. It will do it for you. Assigning roles, triggering follow-ups, setting reminders, even initiating sequences of actions—all automatically.
  
  
• 🔒 Secure, Context-Aware AI
  Otto will continue to evolve while staying grounded in your business logic, your privacy needs, and the specific constraints of the construction space.

This is what we mean when we say Otto isn’t just an assistant—it’s the first step toward AI-powered operations.

The Bigger Picture: Our Vision for AI at Ontraccr

Otto is the first of many AI-powered experiences we’ll be rolling out. As our platform continues to evolve, our mission remains clear: use AI to help every Ontraccr customer unlock more value, more speed, and more creativity.

We see a future where AI doesn’t replace humans—it amplifies them.

We see a future where any operations lead or project manager can build incredible systems without needing a developer.

And we see a future where construction workflows can adapt as fast as the field changes.

Otto is our first step in making that future real.
